4 Easy Miles & Pure Barre DVD

It’ so confusing when I switch my long run days.

I meant to stop at three miles but geez, I am first getting warmed up at that point! I forced myself to go home at the four mile mark. If am going to pay to run a race, I am going to run it with fresh legs.

10k Race!

My clothes are ready.

I think it’s in the 30’s this morning so a long sleeve Run Swiftly layers nice under the Race Your Pace 1/2 Zip.

I could probably get away with a short sleeve shirt underneath instead but it really doesn’t matter — I certainly won’t be hot.

The race doesn’t start until 9:30 am. Isn’t that a late start?

If you are wondering if there are hills in this race, I am wondering the same thing. The area is a little hilly but I am trying not to think about it.

Before I got into running I used to love kickboxing but it’s been probably 10 years since I’ve done it! Good luck for your 10k! I’m not nearly as flexible with last minute races but I wish I were. Great workouts this week 🙂Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Survey Saturday! I Mustache You Some Questions

I used to take kickboxing classes back before I was really into running. I really liked it then but not sure I’m coordinated enough anymore! I usually run around 5:30-6 and maybe a little later on the weekend but usually by 630. Yesterday I went out at 8:15 which was so late for me! Luckily I only did 8 miles. The Baltimore half has a really late start and it always throws me off. Good luck today!Lisa @ Running Out Of Wine recently posted…Philadelphia Marathon Training Week 13

So I’ve been thinking about signing up for my first race for a couple of years now — way to be spontaneous! But good luck on your 10k! I’ll bug you at exactly 8:15 my time to see how it went 😛Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. link love 11/16 .

The best thing I ate this weekend was same late-night queso from my husband’s restaurant. It’s made with velveeta – need I say more? MMMMmm

My running times have been random ever since I had my son 18 months ago. I aim to run in the morning, but when that plan fails (90% of the time) I run on my lunch break at work, in the evening or after the kiddo goes to sleep.Molly @ Motherhood and Marathons recently posted…Balancing Acts

I take kickboxing classes at my gym, but I JUST got a boxing bag and stand for my house, so it’s ON! I LOVE it. I just did a last minute race this weekend too – the hot choc 15k – but only b/c my friend got injured and couldn’t run, so she gave me her bib on Friday. It was a lot of fun! The hot chocolate at the end was so worth the cold run! I’m not typically big on the shorter races either, but sometimes I wonder if they would be fun just to really RACE them…Nikki@will run for pizza recently posted…Hot Chocolate Race Review
